The guy who claimed that Gaming PC Rigs cost around 6k isn't wrong really, I see PC's being sold around that price point all the time in advertisements. But a lot of you guys claiming you can get a Medium to High-End gaming rig for around $1500 aren't being totally honest either. The Sharky Extreme guides are pretty good for getting quality parts to build a certain type of PC Gaming Rig, Value, High-End, & Extreme.
The value PC Gaming Rigs certainly fall in the range of the $1500 price point. But then the hardware used in those rigs are using much 'lesser' components inside compared to the components cited in this thread at the $1500 price point.
